Carmichael and Whitney Reed, employees of The Gym located near the Longwood bookstore.

They said "we realize that Longwood is growing rapidly and it appears that your [weight room] facilities are inadequate, and while we understand that you will have a brand new gym built in 2 years, we have a short-term solution until then."

The ideas was proposed that Longwood raise student activity

The SGA meeting Tuesday, January 28, began strongly with a full and mostly new senate.

Dr. Ken Perkins was scheduled first on the agenda and addressed the important issue of Longwood's accreditation process.

He explained that between March 23 - 26, a group of regional directors will come to our campus to analyze the institution and faculty credentials.

Perkins emphasized Executive Board that, "This visit is the President most extensive review Vice President of our University in 10 Secretary years and if we fail to Treasurer be accredited, it would Executive Senator be the death of this Executive Senator institution," but assured that "that's not Committee Chairs going to happen Academic Affairs Constitution because we've prepared Legislative Affairs ourselves well."

Discussion within the senate made it clear that though the process of changing student activity fees is an extensive one, and this decision would mean that I-ongwood student fees combined would pay the gym $42,000, the student body must be represented.

Medical Transport in Transition Leslie Smith Assl. Ntws Editor The situation: Scott Dill wakes up in terrible pain.

Unable to get transport to the Wellness Center, he, with the help of his friends, managed to get to the Wellness Center with a little difficulty.

There, he was told that he should go to the Emergency Room for X-Rays.

Once again, he was unable to get transport, this time to the ER. He called upon friends and was safely transported to Southside Hospital.

The problem with this situation was the lack of medical transport that Dill had stumbled upon.

The campus police no longer want to transport students, and First Responders don't transport students off campus.

"We're trying to resolve how transports are going to be done," Chief Charles Lowe said.

The faculty advisor for the First Responders, Cathy Layne, is working on the proposal along with the Wellness Center and the Campus Police, in hopes that it will relieve them of the pressure, and the potential liability, of transporting students.

"The idea is to get away from police cars, because they're not licensed medical vehicles to transport people with medical problems," Lowe explained. "Though we haven't fully developed the alternatives."

In response to the fact that Dill

had to provide his own transport to the ER, Lowe admitted, "We actually prefer people to get their own transport."

Unfortunately, freshmen have to be taken into account, due to the fact that they are not allowed to have cars on campus.

"Freshmen are really what's causing the holdup in implementing a new program," Lowe said, but that is obviously why it is important to have some sort of medical transport on campus.

"The one thing that has definitely been resolved is that we know that by allowing police to transport creates a certain amount of liability on the part of the institution."

Layne spoke on behalf of the First Responders, commenting that she was frustrated that they were so reliant on all of the other aspects that come into helping and saving the people that call them.

So, as she, and the other people involved, work on the proposal, they are "reevaluating what roles the First Responders should have in that respect."

Everything is premature as of yet, but she is hoping that it will be resolved, whether it means that they contract with another company for transport, or manage to get a transport unit on campus.

"We want Longwood to step up and say, 'What can we do to help?'" she said, commenting also that the "one thing we are 100% sure of is that we will definitely not lose our student-run medical services.

Words From tke Editor Everyone should celebrate V-Day. 1 And by that, I don't mean the chocolateindulging, present-exchanging, kissy-kissy holiday that most people recognize, although that's fun (if not nauseating) as well.

I'm talking about the V-Day founded out of Eve Ensler's play The Vagina Monologues, which is coming to Longwood in March.

V-Day is a five-year-old movement to end violence against women, which still pervades around the world in staggering numbers.

It is a fight to end violent acts such as rape, battery, incest,

female genital mutilation (FGM), and sexual slavery.

Yes, Longwood, these practices do exist.

And the "V" doesn't just stand for valentine; it also stands for victory and vagina.

V-Day aims to raise funds and awareness, bringing change and safety to women in the world who need it most.

Every year, Marie Claire covers the events and presents the statistics surrounding V-Day. Some of this year's facts include: -Around the world, at least one in three women has been beaten, coerced into sex, or abused in some way.

-Somewhere in America, a woman is battered every 15 seconds.

-In 2002, over 800 venues

around the world held V-Day celebrations.

It's great to recognize V-Day, but just talking about it isn't enough to make the necessary difference.

There are plenty of things, however, that you as students, faculty, and staff can do to contribute to this worthy cause.

First, pick up a copy of this month's Marie Claire (and no, it's not just a fashion magazine).

This month they feature an essay written by Eve Ensler, extensive V-Day coverage, and an opportunity to help support V-Day by purchasing a handmade beaded bracelet.

There are also other opportunities to support V-Day, and information is available at www.vday.org.

According to the website,

there are over 2000 V-Day events in over 1000 locations this year.

The site lists all the productions of the Vagina Monologues, including all those on campuses across the state, including Longwood.

Virginia Tech, UVA, George Mason, and Christopher Newport University are just a few of the colleges offering productions of the play.

There are several news items, updating viewers on the progress of V-Day and women who have suffered under the hands of violence V-Day is a non-profit organization that has raised over J14 million, and was voted one of the "100 Best Charities" in 2001

by Worth magazine.

So if you have a few extra

dollars, don't be afraid to give it to V-Day. You can find out about donating through the www.vday.org, plus you can sign up for their newsletter.

If you don't have much cash, at least work on spreading the word about the Vagina Monologues, which will be showing on campus March 20-22.

For V-Day itself, Longwood will have tables set up in the DHall to encourage support and education.

The more we raise awareness, the more we talk about it, the more we are not afraid to say "vagina," the more we can make a difference.

Letters to tke Editor Dear Editor: I used to like Longwood. I held out hope that Longwood administrators would see the errors of their ways, but alas, I was a fool.

Longwood administrators preach developing responsible citizen leaders who will work toward the common good, but they do not practice it.

At every turn, they say "can't" or "don't" and ostracize for speaking out and questioning policy.

They cave to the minonty who would be offended and thereby take away others' rights to partake in a learning expenence, yet do not support the minority in meaningful ways, such as convincing the Board of Visitors to include "sexual orientation" in the non-discrimination clause.

Tolerance must give way to acceptance.

Longwood touts being at the forefront of good change and preaches citizen leaders to fight for justice, yet they hide behind the fact that the Commonwealth of Virginia does not require the inclusion of "sexual orientation" in its non-discrimination clause, therefore, they are not required to.

Does anyone else think contradiction and hypocrisy here?

Longwood preaches diversity, but does not like difference of

opinion and hushes it whenever possible.

They want puppets. Because I am a Graduate Assistant, I have lost my student status and rights.

Because I am a Graduate Assistant, I do not have staff status, rights, or privileges.

They have created a nonentity.

My job description states that I must supervise student workers in our office, yet they do not allow me.

My supervisor sides with them.

My job description states that I must co-advise a student organization, but the executive board members do not recognize my advice or me because I am not a board member.

My supervisor sides with them.

His silence speaks volumes. My job description states that I must advocate for commuters.

Since my undergraduate days here at Longwood, I have advocated for commuters.

Now, as a Graduate Assistant I can no longer speak out as a commuter student... because I am not a commuter (I live in Longwood-managed Stanley Park as a stipulation of my contract).

I do, however, have a commuter parking decal, but I cannot have a staff parking decal.

As a Graduate Assistant I cannot speak out because I represent "the office." Contradiction?

Hypocrisy? And they wonder why I have problems distinguishing between my roles.

Puppet. They want a puppet.

They want a clerical worker who will only pretend to supervise, coadvise, and advocate.

They do not list me as a point of contact because I do not exist.

My supervisor said I have given him grounds, twice, to terminate me. How can you terminate someone who does not exist?

First, I did not appear at a function that was mandatory for the organization's board members.

An organization to which I do not belong.

Second, I wrote a letter to President Cormier WITHOUT LETTING HIM KNOW He has placed a gag order on me and, when asked, said I need to sign my letters to The Rotunda as "Anonymous."

I wrote President Cormier asking her to address a problem that has been swept under the rug all my years here at longwood.

Heaven forbid, I said someone was not doing his or her job.

But it is acceptable for administrators and those put here to serve students not to do their job. And it is grounds to terminate a Graduate Assistant for pointing that fact out.

Speak Out How Did You Feel When You Heard About the Crash of the Columbia?

"I was very hurt and emotional about the 7 people that died. We should all say a prayer for all of their families. My heart goes out to all of them."

The Columbia Explosion: Will NASA Learn a Lesson?

Malt Hines Staff Wnttr Education is not free. Everyday people have to make great sacrifices for the sole purpose of education.

These sacrifices come in many forms; parents putting off vacation plans to help their children through college, students sacrificing Fnday and Saturday nights to work, and the seven brave men and women that sacrificed their lives so mankind would have a better understanding of the world around us.

I hope that some good can out of this horrible incident, and I think that it will.

I would hope that this incident would start a nationwide conversation between all Americans about the importance of NASA and how important it is to us.

First we must examine the role that the space program plays in our country.

Besides creating a large number of jobs for highly educated

people, the space program has also served as a "team" for which the Amencan people can root.

When the USA put a man on the moon, it once and for all showed the dominance of our nation. Over time, however, the American people's interest seemed to decline.

Before this accident, nobody was talking about the space mission; nobody except a few people even knew there was a flight in progress.

On Saturday after the nation learned of the tragedy, the coverage expanded to nearly every station and even caused George W. Bush to cut short his weekend get away at Camp David.

Let's use this terrible incident to evaluate NASA's importance. In President Bush's new 2004 budget ($2.2 trillion in proposed spending), he also includes a $500 million increase in NASA's funding, bringing their budget to $15.47 billion.

The budget hike will go into

effect on Monday, February 3, just two days after the crash.

I have a few problems with this.

Where is this money coming from?

George Bush is increasing military spending too, in fact the highest military increase since the cold war.

He is doing this at the same time he is proposing cutting taxes.

But my biggest problem of all is the timing.

What are the chances that without a high profile crash on Saturday President Bush would hold a press conference to announce the first NASA spending increase in over 10 years?

He conveniently assimilates himself with tragedies, making him no more than an ambulance chaser. If the information we gain from space exploration is valuable, then we should treat it as such and fund it accordingly not just jump on the bandwagon for the sake of popularity in the polls.

If not, we should use our resources elsewhere to help with one of our many domestic problems.

JUSTICE cont'd p. 2 My supervisor said that when the President is contacted, something is going to happen.

Well. DUH. That is the purpose. When all else fails, ask the president.

Much is good at and about Longwood. Much is also wrong at and with Longwood, but they do not want to hear about it.

They have finally soured my overall experience here. I have much to offer, but administrators, organizations, and student leaders do not know how to work with a non-traditional (old adult) student attempting to make a positive difference.

They have temporarily dampened my spirits. However, no one

tells me to shut up. That makes me shout out with all the more intensity.

When I am passionate about a matter, I speak out. I see their "cover your ass" ploy: by giving me an unfavorable action, they can use that for grounds to terminate me the next time I refuse to give up my right to free speech.

I have something to tell them: I refuse to sign this letter "Anonymous." There is good reason they call me WrathBerry. I have justice in my blood, and no one does me wrong.

Snow Shovel Activist Perpetuates Stereotypes Dear Editor, I was reading the article "Real Men Do It With a Shovel, Not a Snowblower" from the ACTIVIST section of the January 30 edition of The Rotunda, and I realized I have faced a very similar situation.

The other week I went to the kitchen and saw my dinner dishes were still on the table and had not been cleaned.

They had been there for almost two days! Neither my female roommate nor my other roommate's girlfriend offered to resolve this quandary that I found myself in.

When I actually asserted myself and asked if they could help both of them responded, "Do I look like a dishwasher to you?"

Obviously they didn't and that is when I realized we didn't have a dishwasher at all.

The dishes continued to pile up. My roommates and I called a friend and she came and looked around and said, "Where is the dishwasher?" and left.

Luckily, when a girl friend heard of the problem she quickly jumped in her car and drove over an hour from Lynchburg at eleven o'clock at night.

Much like your original response, I thought to myself, "She has a Mustang, how is she going to fit a dishwasher in that litde car?"

But similar to your friend's

fiance, this girl friend had thought this problem through and brought a dishrag and some soap, which allowed her to resolve all of our problems.

She is a keeper.

This story is obviously absurd; I mean I can wash dishes just as well as anyone else.

I also believe women are completely capable of shoveling snow.

It was nice that people offered to give you a hand and, yes, it would have been even better if it was unsolicited.

The needy female is not a role that I thought was being played anymore and 1 am saddened to see it at Longwood.

The implication of the original article is that women are unable to shovel snow and need a man to perform this physical task.

If fire or police departments, made a similar conclusion we would see no women fire fighters or police officers.

Women have been fighting for years so they could break the same stereotype that you imply.

The fact that you say, "He dug her out with good old-fashioned man-power," or call yourselves "damsels in distress" just makes the stereotype worse.

I hope this attitude does not catch on. ~ Logan McKinley

PE cont'd p. 3 per week, and of that 60%, 25% are completely sedentary.

Bold statement, perhaps.

Completely terrifying statement, most definitely.

This country's health is taking a downward spiral and we, as citizens, are not thinking twice about it.

The fortunate part is that this downward trend can be reversed.

Researchers estimate that 256,686 deaths in the U.S. could have been prevented if physical inactivity were eliminated.

Over a quarter of a million lives could have been saved by an extra 20-30 minutes of continuous exercise, 3 days a week (at moderate intensity, meaning you can exercise and soil have a conversation with someone; pure exhaustion is not the goal here).

Certainly this is not a statement intended to pass "guilt" along the chain of society, but an attempt to open a few eyes, and realize that without health, you have absolutely nothing.

Heart disease remains the number one killer in our country, and yet most of its risk factors are controllable or can be improved with regular, moderate exercise.

Now I am not asking anyone to run a marathon, or compete on the Olympic level. In fact, I am not even suggesting competitive settings as the best atmosphere for gaining health benefits from physical activity.

A Few Words oi Response Dear Editor: I write in response to three recent postings in The Rotunda: last week's Activist, last week's editorial cartoon, and the letter to the editor from the gendeman who touted his 4.0 GPA. For each of these contributors to your paper, I will offer two words of advice.

First, for last week's Activist, the words are shove/ and misdirected.

Shovel-2 gender-neutral device with broad scoop end and long handle end-useful for moving dirt or snow. May be operated by man or woman.

Misdirected-this contribution should have appeared in the Hampden-Sydney paper, not The Rotunda. From the author's description, the only Longwood man mentioned in the story did

all he could to help.

For last week's editorial cartoonist, the words are myopic and responsibility.

Afyo/w-shortsighted or nearsighted, unable to see beyond one's own concerns. To be sure, the construction is inconvenient for all of us. However, in the future, as Longwood continues to develop its campus, the new spaces and buildings will be quite aesthetically appealing. Also, it's good to remember that many folks were complaining about the fences and lack of construction last fall. At least now we have construction (watching the bulldozer go up and down the mound of dirt outside the library is fun for kids of all ages).

RtsponsibiJity-vAnt all types of journalists (including cartoonists) should exercise, especially when

getting the story/the facts straight.

Fact: if you are a Virginia taxpayer, then Longwood University is spending your money on construction.

Myth: your tuition is paying for construction.

Construction money comes from different accounts in the State's accounting system.

Myth #2: your administrators are vain and inaccessible. The cartoonist indicates that no one listens to students. Compared to many other schools Longwood's administrators are amazingly accessible to students. Fact if you have a concern, call and make an appointment You may not get what you want, but you will be heard.

New Option Being Offered to Students Wken Choosing a Major Erin Myers Sufi Writer Longwood would like to introduce a new major for prospective students. This new major is a Bachelor of Science in criminology and criminal justice offered within the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice Studies.

Prior to the introduction of this new major, a concentration in criminal justice within the Sociology major had been available for some time.

According to Dr. Debra Kelley, Associate Professor of Sociology & Criminal Justice Studies, "The curriculum for the major in Criminology and Criminal Justice follows the criteria suggested by the Academy for Criminal Justice Sciences.

The standards of the Academy were used because this professional association was founded on building a bridge between the

SGA cont'd from p.l The three were asked to present the latest progress report for the 2002-2003 yearbook.

Last semester SGA allocated over $15,000 for the yearbook, and due to the questionable amount of time to create a yearbook in one semester, treasurer Bryan Lee vetoed the budget, which allows SGA to make amendments and revote on the proposal.

The committee indeed has a room, and equipment that will arriving on Friday and allow them to start work on the yearbook, but the members of senate expressed their concern that it would not be of high quality if work on it began now.

The motion passed that the yearbook committee will attend the Student Activity Fee Council meeting today, 1/30 to determine further budget and contract information, where the status of the yearbook is pending.

The meeting Tuesday, February 4th was brief. Mike Smith was sworn in as the new Vice President along with 3 senators, and 1 representative.

practitioner world of criminal justice, and the academic world of criminology.

Persons who want to pursue a criminal justice career within today's job market need to have skills and abilities that are quite different from what was once the case."

The required forty-one credit hour program incorporates the skills and abilities necessary for the 21st century criminal justice profession by offering an academic curriculum that combines social theory, applied research methodologies, statistical analysis, problem identification, and legal analysis.

According to Dr. Kelley, "One of the cornerstones of the criminology and criminal justice major is the opportunity students have for gaining professional experience in criminal justice through participation in the Central Virginia's Criminal Justice Police Academy, as well as the

Richmond Police Academy."

If students elect to participate in Longwood's affiliation with the Central Virginia Law Enforcement Academy in Lynchburg or with the Richmond Police Academy, they can earn elective academic credit and law enforcement certification. Dr. Lee Bidwell, Department Chair of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice Studies, is also pleased with the addition of the new major.

"We are excited about being able to offer a degree program that not only matches [students'] interests, but provides numerous career opportunities."

Occupations within the field of criminal justice include opportunities with law enforcement at the federal, state, and local level, data analysis, court services, and crime scene investigation.

This program also gives students the option to continue their education with a master's degree

and the gym were again discussed. A motion was made and voted in favor that the yearbook for the 2002-2003 school year would not be created, instead, would be represented in 10 pages in the 20032004 yearbook.

The item of the gym again was raised in concern for the student body.

The petition that has been on campus and is being signed by students is invalid and was not created by the SGA. More investigation is being taken in this matter. The SGA strongly encourages the students to ask questions, give ideas, and participate in any or all meetings.

The general body meetings take place every Tuesday at 3:45 in the ABC rooms of the Student Union.

Students Consider Vegetarian Eating Whitney Meers UWm As a yearbook staff member at her high school, University of South Florida junior Jenn Beck was given an assignment that involved visiting a slaughterhouse near the school. The yearbook staff wanted pictures of the pigs being slaughtered for a feature that was going to be printed in the yearbook.

"I went there, and I said 'I can't do this,'" Beck said. "That was it."

Today, Beck follows an almost completely vegetarian diet. Beck is not alone. Mintel Meat-Free Foods reported in December 2001 that an estimated 5.7 percent of the population follows a vegetarian diet of some kind.

The term "vegetarian" is generally used to describe a diet that consists of no meat. Many vegetarians, however, eat fish, and some eat small amounts of meat, as well.

Fruitarians only eat raw fruits and vegetables. They believe all things are living, and that any fruits eaten should not be picked off of a vine rather, they should have fallen off on their own. This diet only lasted one week for Beck.

in Sociology with a concentration in criminal justice.

The Sociology and Criminology Professors are not the only people on campus looking out for new trends and demand in courses and majors.

Director of Admissions, Robert Chonko, claims, "Interest is growing; more careers are available in both the private and public sectors and criminal justice is among the top ten majors of student interests in Virginia."

He explained that Longwood is selectively adding majors where there is significant market demand.

He states, "We are very excited about the new major, prospective students at the college fairs express a strong interest for the subject, and by adding criminal justice into our mix of majors [we] can generate more interest in Longwood, match our competition, and meet a growing occupational demand."

As a vegan, Beck could not eat any foods that contained animal products or byproducts. This strict vegetarian diet does not allow one to consume any meat, milk or eggs, and many do not eat honey either. This diet stems from the belief that consumption of meat and dairy products promotes cruel treatment of animals.

"It didn't work out," she said. "I love cheese and ice cream, and I think that fake cheese tastes disgusting."

For those interested in beginning a vegetarian diet, she recommends speaking to a health professional first.

"They can lead you on the right path and help you to know what's

Both Bob Chonko and Dr. Bidwell expect the major to be one of Longwood's most popular programs.

It is difficult to predict numbers this early, but admissions feel 25 new students enrolling each year is a very realistic possibility.

Dr. Bidwell added that the department wants the program to be one of the best in Virginia; the faculty carefully constructed the major to be rigorous and one that integrates theoretical concepts with a strong foundation in core areas of criminology and criminal justice.

For more information about the program please visit Longwood's Sociology Department website at: http://www.longwood.edu/anthr opology/.

Additionally, Dr. Kelley is happy to discuss the program with all interested students so feel free to contact her at dkelley@longwood.edu or 395-2692.

best for your body," Beck said.

"You really need to take care of yourself. Especially if you have previous health problems, you need to talk to your doctor."

Dr. Egilda Terenzi, director for student health services at USF, said she agrees. She said that anyone considering a vegetarian diet should have initial knowledge before seeing a doctor.

"There's no living off of iceberg lettuce and pasta," she said. "That's where complications are seen."

Terenzi mentioned that many people who are vegetarians have problems with low iron levels in their blood because they don't eat well-rounded meals.

RESPONSE cont'd p. 4 Finally, a couple of words for the gentleman who was espousing his 4.0 GPA and his sense of obligation to shout profanity at officials and opposing teams.

If your goal in proclaiming your GPA was to dispel negative stereotypes about student athletes, this was a worthy goal The men's soccer team's goal of enthusiastically supporting the men's basketball team also is a worthy goal However, there are a couple of key points you have overlooked: sportsmanship and class.

Sportsmanship-playing each game by the rules, respecting your opponent, and doing everything you can ethically do in order to win.

Anyone who has ever played on a sports team has likely heard the speech from their coach that describes how the athletes represent not only themselves, but also their school.

The same is true of fans. You don't have to welcome opposing teams into "our house" with open arms, but as a member of what should/could be a civil ttSShp. you do need to treat

guests in "our house" with respect Make noise, jump up and down, ignore their team, ignore their cheerleaders, wave eye charts at the officials-all of these things can be quite effective. Shouting obscenities just proves that you have nothing intelligent to say, or no better way of expressing yourself, calling the importance of one's GPA into question.

Class-in this case, the opposite of thug (adj). Treating oneself and one's opponent with respect shows a sense of selfworth and self-dignity that should exist outside the gym and inside the gym. Exercising class is also a much better longterm strategy.

Finally, even though I disagree with the contributors identified above, kudos to all for making their voices heard on the campus, and participating in the public forum provided by The Rotunda. Your silence would have accomplished little.

Your opinions, however they are received, have people talking, and that is a good thing.

Direct Student Loans Mau Be in Jeopardy Natalie J.Mikhail UWirt Controversy is rising in the U.S. Education Department over the possible sale of governmentowned direct student loans.

Officials are strongly considering a plan to sell a portion of the $100 billion assets in an attempt to increase financial-aid spending.

Supporters of direct lending fear the loss of borrowers' rights and perhaps even a complete termination of the loan program if such a plan were to be put into action.

Direct lending is a financial alternative to other federal-loan programs commonly used by students to finance their college educations.

This alternative provides loans direcdy to students through their colleges rather than through private lending firms.

Created in 1993 by Congress, the direct-loan program provides almost a third of the $50 billion in federal student loans that are allotted each year to students at universities nationwide.

Loan-industry officials said the Education Department is considering a plan to secuntize direct

loans. This plan would collect a group of borrowers' direct loans and convert them into financial instruments, such as bonds or mutual funds, and sell them to investors.

Federal student loans are attractive to investors, because they come with a government guarantee to cover most of the losses that occur if a borrower defaults.

However, supporters of directloan programs are worried about the potential trouble borrowers could face when attempting to switch payment options.

Steve Van Ess, University of Wisconsin director of student financial services, said all federal loan programs are virtually "seamless" to students, that they follow the same terms and conditions.

The only setbacks to downsizing direct lending would be to the schools, which would have to change lenders.

There are two main federal loan programs — direct lending and the Federal Family Educational Loan Program.

Schools must choose one of the two programs

Approximately 70 percent of the nation's schools, including UW, use FFELP. This program offers guaranteed loans, insured by the federal government, from private lenders.

"Of all the aid that all of our UW students receive ... $100 million comes just from the FFELP program," Van Ess said.

Half of all financial aid that goes to UW students, including federal, state and institutional, comes from the FFELP. Since UW does not work directly with direct lending. Van Ess said there will be no immediate impact on the student body regarding the potential plan.

When the direct lending program was first set up, some argued it would be inefficient to have two separate loan programs.

"Having the existence of the two programs turned out to improve both programs," Van Ess said. "If direct lending goes away, it may eliminate some of the competition."

The Education Department supports both loan programs and reported it will not proceed with any plans that would impair borrowers.

WHATS UP WITH BROCK COMMONS ANYWAY? By: Kisha Castelar Guest Writer We've all seen the construction and we have all heard a little bit about Brock Commons. You probably know that Brock Commons is being made possible by a donation from Longwood Alum Joan Brock and when completed it will be closed off to thru traffic. You probably know that it is being built atop an underground parking garage too. But did you know that the entire walkway will be brick paved?

That fountains will be placed at every intersection. That there will be benches installed, with flowers and trees planted. That a pavilion will be built at the entrance of campus complete with a CHI tower bell. But most importantly did you know that Brock Commons will create a way for our campus to unite and meet That maybe in the warm spring season your class could be held outside in the fantastic weather bordered by flowers and trees. That soon enough when you are meeting someone for a meal at the Dhall the old tradition of "Meet me at the fountain" will be alive again. It may be hard to close your eyes and picture that from what we are seeing now. But I assure you that when it is here and it is a completed part of our campus we will love it and wonder what we ever did before it

Apple of the Week: Acne Craters are iorMoons, Not ior your Face Liz Richards Assistant Editor

An ode to those with pimples: I've squeezed pimples by the hundred, ruptured pustules by the score; I've milked my face until it bled, And still I crave for more.

While this pokes fun at the pizza-face dilemma, the truth is that nearly 35% of young adults suffer from acne.

In most cases, acne starts at the age of twelve or thirteen and can last for five to ten years.

It usually goes away by your early twenties, but for some, acne can be persistent, well into their late twenties or thirties and even into the forties.

Some young women are more likely to have occasional acne flair-ups thanks to hormonal changes associated with their menstrual cycle, and due to using cosmetics.

A common misconception is that a poor diet will affect the condition of one's skin.

Pizza, chips, and other staple foods in the college diet will not directly lead to acne, unless you rub them on your face.

The grease left behind on your hands can be the culprit if you touch your face soon after eating oily foods, which can clog pores and lead to breakouts.

However, if you find that certain foods affect your skin negatively, it may turn out to be a food allergy, so try to avoid them.

If you are one of the unfortunate who have acne, there are things you can do to alleviate the situation.

Shunning from the public eye is something that many acne-sufferers wish to take, but where's the fun in that? If your acne is mild, an over-the-counter medicine may be all you need.

These products all have the same active ingredient: benzoyl peroxide, usually at 10 percent strength.

It unclogs pores and kills the bacteria in them. Be especially wary of claims that a product can clear your skin from within: "Impurities" or "toxins" in the blood do not cause acne, as some natural-remedy hucksters allege, nor will "flushing away" these toxins improve your skin's appearance.

If you are not having much luck with the store bought products, see a medical doctor. He or she can prescribe a much more aggressive medication, which should clear up the problem in a matter of weeks.

So your days of squeezing a few hundred pimples would be over, and could finally enjoy collecting phone numbers, by the hundreds.

Considering a New Do? Pubic Grooming is the Trendy New Thing Teresa Chin U-WRE First of all, I would like to say that the Internet is truly an amazing thing.

Where else can you go to do research on pubic hair and find over 12,000 photos of fakebreasted women covered in shaving cream, scraping away at their own genitals with a Lady Bic? How to go about grooming your pubes can be a very, shall we say, hairy subject (pun intended).

Porn and popular erotica seem to dictate that we should all be shorn, shaven, waxed or plucked down to a few friendly tufts of fuzz, but the reality is that natural pubic hair is less of a happy trail and more of a welcome mat.

Pubic grooming, however, has its tiers. Just because you decide that something needs to be done down there doesn't mean you're automatically signing up for a Brazilian bikini wax.

Both men and women can ben-

efit from at least some level of pubic maintenance, and not just for pure aesthetics. For all you men out there -- your day probably requires quite a few adjustments to the ol' twig and berries (yes, we all notice), and trimming your longer hairs is insurance against possible hair pulling and caught zippers.

For women, trimming can free up a lot of the labia and increase the possible repertoire for oral sex and masturbation.

So, should you decide it's time to mow the lawn a bit, you've got a couple of options.

Waxing - let's be honest here - hurts like a motherf— er. The skin around your crotch is pretty sensitive, so expect quite a bit of discomfort, although it allegedly gets easier when you wax on a regular basis.

On the plus side, the hair usually takes longer to grow back in than if you shave. I wouldn't recommend to try at-home waxing kits for anything major.

Hopefully your genitals are somewhat important to you, so you'll leave the big stuff up to the professionals.

If scraping or ripping your hair off sounds like too much for you to handle, you can always try to melt your troubles away with a good depilatory cream.

There are specific types to use on pubic hair. Weak formulas can only end up thinning or leaving random patches of hair. At the risk of sounding like a public service announcement, remember to follow the directions.

If the botde says "no more than 15 minutes," then don't leave the stuff on longer, or else even you non-redheads may end up touting the nickname "fire crotch." Ouch.

Shaving is probably the most common method of going about getting bare down there, especially for those going for that porn star look. If that's what you're

Emotional Abuse in Young Relationskips: College Rela tionships Are a t High Risk Kassandra Shugars Counseling Cintir Intern

The most common form of abuse among young relationships is by far emotional abuse. Anne McDermott of CNN News estimates that approximately 30 to 40% of teenage dating relationships can be classified as emotionally abusive.

As college students we are considered adults, however some of us are experiencing serious relationships for the first time and are at risk of falling into an unhealthy or even abusive relationship.

Emotionally abusive relationships can be hard to identify by others because emotional abuse is not concrete like physical abuse, there are no immediate physical traces of the abuse that can be easily seen by others.

Too often people continue in unhealthy relationships because they feel trapped, don't want to hurt the other person, or are afraid of being alone.

Be careful to consider this issue from both perspectives; examine how you are being treated as well as how you are treating your partner. Abuse goes both ways.

When in an unhealthy relationship you may feel pressure to

A few tips out there include taking your time and shaving with a fresh razor, it is not recommended to use the same one more than three times. Soak the area you're going to shave in hot water for a few minutes, and then apply shaving cream for about 30 seconds.

To get the smooth look you can shave only in the direction the hair grows, although it still may feel rough to the touch.

Both directions are necessary for that true silky texture; feel free to follow your grooming with some baby oil on the newlyshorn skin. For men, I wouldn't suggest trying to shave your scro-

turn so much as just clipping and trimming. Razor burn is an everlooming threat, and some areas are more prone than others.

According to one pom secret site, big razor bumps can be treated with Visine eye drops. No word on if it actually works, but feel free to experiment if you have the time. While you're sporting the bare look, I highly suggest wearing loose underwear to prevent chafing.

So as the question remains "to trim or not to trim," Remember that there is still no universal undress code. Different styles of pubic hair produce different sensations and experiences. Some people like the natural look, and it is just as hygienic if you give your bush a little shampoo TLC in the shower. So whether you're all hair or all bare, it's what makes you comfortable that is going to give you the most pleasure.

To-Yo' Dietin6 Can Harm Women's Hearts adCOCK's PERSPECTIVE Erin Saylor U-WTRE "Yo-yo" dieting joins smoking, obesity and high blood pressure as a nsk factor for heart disease, according to a new study.

Researchers at the Veterans' Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System and the University of Michigan Health System announced last week that as women pursue culturally ideal body images through a cycle of significant weight gain and loss, they are increasing the danger of heart disease later in life.

Cardiologist Claire Duvemoy and her team found that women who gained or lost at least 10 pounds during the course of a year and at least five times during their lives were more likely to have problems after menopause.

The study examined the blood flow to the heart and the effects on blood vessels in postmenopausal women who were already at high risk for heart disease, but did not have it.

"We found that the more obese a woman was, the more she had weighed in her youth - and her

dieting history — lead to significantly lower blood flow in the heart," said Duvemoy, director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at the VA/Ann Arbor Healthcare System and assistant professor of internal medicine/cardiology at the Medical School.

While difficult to measure the exact increase in risk, the study showed lower blood flow caused by extreme fluctuations in weight could be an indication of blockage in the coronary arteries and could lead to a heart attack or stroke.

"Women in their 20s want to look good now," said Amanda Thomas, a research assistant for the neuropsychology department and aerobics instructor at the Central Campus Recreation Building. "Most are definitely not thinking about how abuse of dieting is going to affect them when they are older."

Duvemoy said more women than men have died of heart disease in the United States each year since 1984, a phenomenon that she attributed to later diagnosis and treatment and other

factors.

She pointed out that the women studied were in their late 50s and 60s, indicating that yo-yo dieting has been a factor for at least 20 years.

Education student Alissa Emmons said yo-yo dieting is a problem among young women.

"Most of the people I know maintain a healthy lifestyle through exercising and watching what they eat," she said.

"But a lot of people are looking for a quick fix - they'll try anything to get that ideal body."

People are heavily influenced by media images and popular dieting trends, Duvernoy said. They need to get back to a more common-sense way of dealing with weight and recognize that yo-yo dieting is not a good way to attain long-term health, she suggested.

"It's more important to main tain a healthy weight than to swing between extremes," Duvernoy said.

"We need to take a more positive approach and healthier attitude towards weight issues in this country."

Well, I received some compliments on my last column and I thank those of you who read it. Keep reading, and if you have a question PLEASE WRITE me.

This week's issue is actually a bit strange, but a very valid question when discussing relationships Shane, I have been with my boyfriend for a few months now and I spend a lot of time at his place. It is because of this that I wonder when it is appropriate to poop at his place and I or possibly fart? -Kristin, Jr. That is a very important question. However, I think that there is a bit more to it than the sounds and excrements of your butt While your crap or flatulence in front of your boyfriend is an issue, it is more of an indication of the comfort level in your relationship. The more comfortable you are around your boyfriend, the less you will worry about crapping at his place.

M

Just don't get to such a level where you are peeing with the door open (that's gross).

That level is decided on an individual relationship basis. I have a friend, and it took his girlfriend thirteen months just to fart in front of him.

At the same time a couple must realize that body functions don't just cease to work when you fall asleep. Chances are, you have farted on your boyfriend in your sleep. Either he never noticed it, or was nice enough not to tell you that you woke him with your butt chatter.

As a direct answer to the question, I would say wait five months before you fart in front of him; go ahead and use the bathroom whenever you need to I can see him getting a little surprised about you not excusing yourself in order to fart. At the same time he should be adult enough to realize that when someone needs to use the restroom it's a natural thing.

Just be kind enough to turn the fan on before you drop the bomb that goes plop, and spray when you're done.

Her father Gus, played by Michael Constantine, is obsessed with Windex and can tell you how any word onginated in the Greek language.

worst of all, falls in love with a non-Greek man named Ian Miller played by John Corbett.

This film is based on Nia Vardalous's one-woman show.

The film came to life when Rita Wilson (Tom Hanks's wife) saw it, decided to produce it, and turned it into a movie.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a cute romantic comedy with feisty humor spread throughout.

The characters may be a bit stereotypical and over the top, but they should be to go with the humor of the plot.

Note to you guys out there: Valentine's Day is coming up, and this is a great movie to take your better half to.

It is playing at the Farmville area theater but if you miss it before Valentines Day, it will be playing in the ABC rooms in the student union on February 21 so be sure to check it out.

^ae Scoop on TV Sweeps Lauren Robeson U-Wire Four times a year, shows get out of their rerun ruts to vie for ratings in a contest that executives simultaneously anticipate and fear in the weeks preceding.

February sweeps are upon us, and there are plenty of good episodes in store for viewers who couldn't care less about Trista and her choice mate on The Bacbelorette NBC is exploiting its Thursday-night "Must-See TV" lineup to an almost annoying degree of insanity. SNL alumnus Jon Lovitz will guest on "Friends" Thursday night, followed by Jurassic Park's Jeff Goldblum next week.

Scrubs will feature former NYPD Bba star Rick Schroder and Road Trip's Amy Smart as romantic interests for lead characters J.D. (Zach Braff) and ElHot (Sarah Chalke).

Will & Grace will feature actress Minnie Driver in Thursday's episode and (former) megastar Demi Moore next week.

On ER, Sally Field will return as nurse Abby's (Maura Tiemey) troubled mother. The Sunday 1960s drama American Dreams will feature performances by India.Arie, Leann Rimes and Vanessa Carlton, all of who will be playing singers from that decade.

CBS's Survivor, which is the granddaddy of all current "reality" series despite its annoying, farfetched qualities, remains one of the best reality shows out there, and always offers surprises.

When Survivor: Amazon, the sixth installment, premieres on Feb. 13, the teams will no longer be coed: the 16 contestants will be split up by gender, sure to inspire catnhess among the women and arrogance among the men, ABC's excellent Alias is a refreshing choice amid the bloated month of new episodes and greedy expectations of network executives.

We could always look on the bright side: no more reruns for an entire month, the one part of sweeps you can always count on.

Longwood's Very Own Mascot "Lance tke Lancer" Excites tke Crowd.

Devan MacConnell Staff Writ*

We watched their mascots cheer the Buccaneers and Raiders on at this year's Super Bowl.

Who's behind the mask at Longwood?

"Lance the Lancer" is Longwood's very own mascot, sponsored by Stanley Park town homes.

Being Longwood's mascot "provides excitement... I like to make people happy."

You will find Lance cheering on Longwood's Men's and Women's

Basketball games, home court Lance's dedication to his fans is apparent, "I put in at least five hours a week, depending oh how many games.... I am at the Dining Hall an hour before game time, promoting the game, then during the entire game."

When Lance is in front of Longwood fans, he does his "own thing" to excite the crowd, "without me at the game, there would be a huge difference.

During breaks when the dance team and cheerleaders are gone, it gets quiet... that is when the

mascot is supposed to shine."

A Longwood University student commented on Lance, "It's always fun to watch him interact with the kids at games and dance around to the music" Lance knows he has been a successful asset to the crowd "if people are talking back to me and playing around... and looking forward to seeing me out there!"

Come cheer on Longwood's Men's and Women's basketball teams with Lance at the next home game, February 8, Men's game starts at 2 and Women's at 4.

Pictured left to right are Lorrie Watson, Hunter Watson, and Southard Brumfield, representing Stanley Park Townhomes, along with "Lance the Lancer."
